Alleged victim of Daejon Love says she reported him to 49ers in December 2025
The 49ers have said, via information previously provided by an unnamed team source to Kalyn Kahler of ESPN, that they did not know about Daejon Love, who allegedly posed as a player on the team as part of an elaborate scheme, until the FBI contacted the 49ers in August 2026.
According to Gwen Herndon, an alleged victim of Daejon Love, she reported him to the San Francisco 49ers on December 20, 2025. Herndon stated that Love had allegedly posed as a 49ers player, stolen money from women, and was damaging the team's reputation. The 49ers acknowledged receiving her report but declined to confirm any details.
Love and his alleged partner, Taylor Chan, were arrested in August 2026, charged with defrauding over two dozen women of approximately $1.3 million. Herndon's report suggests that if the 49ers were aware of Love's actions but took no action before his arrest, it could reflect poorly on the organization's reputation.
